A24 4,346 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Except, Bruce is never right. The franchise would have ended with a disowned movie. And I agree with Fincher, I would have disowned it too.

The movie version of Alien 3 is much better than this so called director's cut. Anyway, I think, director's cuts are mostly overrated. Alien franchise is the best example.

A24 4,346 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Even though I never watched it, I know there's a so-called director's cut of Alien too, but Ridley Scott said the theatrical cut of Alien is the director's cut. Don't care for a more snappier edited version of Alien. Yikes! 25 minutes ago, GerateWohl said: Anyway, I think, director's cuts are mostly overrated.

MrJosh 892 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I love the Alien 3 score, though Goldenthal is in my top 5 favorite film composers so I am biased there I suppose. It was actually a holy grail for me and I was ecstatic when LLL announced it's release! One of my most favorite moments is the frantic descending strings that you hear at the end of the movie when the Alien is getting sprayed by the sprinklers prior to it's exploding/death. Also, I think Goldenthal is the only composer who can have the low brass (bass trombones/ contrabass? cimbassi?) play the ultra low and raspy *bwaaaamm* pedal tones and have it seem annoying as it seems to be on modern scores (my opinion, obviously).

GerateWohl 4,373 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I mean, the score really does a good job in the movie. But I realize, currently I am really into this golden age scores and really appreciating what goes on there musically and enjoing the musical experience aprt from the movie. Means, when currently I listen to a score I am not interested in special sound colors or how good it works in the film but just how much does it wake my interest as a pure musical piece. With that view a lot of the stuff I usually like currently sounds quite boring to me. Sadly. Not John Williams of course. That still works perfectly as well. But he never wrote an Alien score, so... just to close the circle to the main topic. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,473 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I like Goldenthal's Alien 3 as well. Actually, I don't think there was a "bad score" in the first 4 Alien movies. I even think John Frizzel's Ressurection is a decent score. The Prometheus/Covenant movies, on the other hand... MrJosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Prometheus, I kind of like the 'main theme' that appears a few times, but beyond that no...Covenant I listened to once and did not enjoy.
